the great thing is the Bulls are hot and won against a good GS team tonight but unlike our guys, they had to play there main guns big minutes tonight. They have to travel to us and play on a back to back

I hope we take it to the Bulls tonight. We're going to need to rebound better, move the ball, and limit their role players. This will be a nail-bitter, hope we can add another quality win against a good team in our conference.

We better win, a friend texted me tonight (Bull's fan) and enquired about a wager on the game. Basically if we win I get to kiss his gf on the mouth.
Yeah I have weird friends.

Beautiful game thread.
BIG opportunity tonight for the Wiz to make a statement. This game is a pretty sizable measuring stick of where this team is and can go in my opinion.
Key number 1 is the defensive boards. Nene and Okafor have to earn their money tonight, because Noah, Boozer and Gibson feast on the offensive glass. Tonight would be a very opportune moment for Booker to snap out of his slump. Focus first and foremost on beasting on the defensive glass.
Also very interested to see Jimmy Butler, who seems to have emerged as a key figure for the Bulls of late. His minutes are way up and his ORtg is an other-worldly 125.
John and co must limit turnovers. Chicago is 4th in defense, so points wont be easy to come by.
Really hoping for an actual W tonight.

nice graphic work.
should be an entertaining game tonight. I wish Rose was playing, would like to see how Wall matches up with him now.

I agree this game is a huge measuring stick. This would be a quality win at home vs a bruising front line. Let's really see what this Wiz team is made of. I expect Wall to explode tonight.

Excellent game thread. I think the team ought to be prepared with a lot of calls not going their way. I feel like Bulls are allowed to be overly physical on reputation alone. If Deng doesn't play we gotta find a way to check Jimmy Butler's energy. I expect a low scoring heart breaker.

Also, for anyone who pays for NBA League Pass like I do, this game tonight is BLACKED OUT since it's on NBA TV (national TV). So you have to find a feed somewhere else, which is ridiculous.

are you sure? I thought the Indy-Jazz game is on NBA TV and the Wiz are on there normal channel along with WGN for Chicago.
As for the game, I think we should put Oak on Boozer & Nene on Noah

Booker vs. Taj is probably going to make for an interesting match up. Booker's best case scenario is probably Taj's level of production.

They have won 6 of 7 and are considered a very good team.
If the Wizards win it will be a statement game.

Naw, I don't pay for TV I'm in grad school. I bought League Pass and thankfully most Wizards games aren't national so they aren't blacked out. Kind of lame that they black out games on a service you pay for though.

Jimmy Butler, the 30th pick when Jan went 6th, has been solid since being inserted as a starter these past 7 or so games, and he doesn't need Derrick Rose to make him better.
